Test Anxiety

<I>Test Anxiety</I> adapts the previous edition to the influence of structural equations modeling that has taken hold of test anxiety research while maintaining the applied research assessment and treatment interventions. This book integrates statistical methodology and research design with actual research situations that occur within the test anxiety area. It brings together more than 100 studies that have been published on test anxiety since 1993. Marty Sapp introduces the logics of structural equations and shows how the EQS structural equations program can easily perform structural equations modeling. He presents two statistical packages SPSSX and SAS for use in conducting test anxiety research and developing actual empirically based treatment interventions. This allows an easy analysis using common factors such as Sarason's four-factor model or Spielberger's two-factor model. <I>Test Anxiety</I> provides a practical cutting edge resource for conducting and assessing test anxiety research.
